Useful tip...
With essential oils, a little can go a long way. As essential oils are highly concentrated, many people choose to combine them with carrier oils for topical uses. Carrier oils act as emulsifiers, which help to blend the oils together and aid dispersion.

Caution:
DO NOT SWALLOW. Never ingest, unless under the supervision of a qualified health care professional.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Dilution recommendations are based on adults. When using on children, you should dilute at least twice as much for children under 16 years and at least four times as much for small children. It is always recommended that you consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting therapy, particularly for children.

DO NOT USE IF PREGNANT OR LACTATING. The effects of essential oils during pregnancy and breast feeding are unknown and therefore such women should avoid use.

SKIN TEST BEFORE USE. We recommend that you dilute a small amount of the oil and apply to the skin on your inner arm. Do not use if redness or irritation occurs.
